From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To simplify the VM code, and to reflect expected application usage, we decide
to also set VM_NONLINEAR when setting VM_NONUNIFORM. Otherwise, we'd have to
possibly save nonlinear PTEs even on paths which cope with linear VMAs. It's
possible, but intrusive (it's done in one of the next patches).
Obviously, this has a performance cost, since we potentially have to handle a
linear VMA with nonlinear handling code. But I don't know of any application
which might have this usage.
